Precognition Ava theory you say

technically it’s the “Ava & her relationship to absolute truth” theory & it isn’t PERFECT, i have to watch again while im thinking about it, but essentially it’s the theory that one of her passive halo abilities—because the halo is Consistently Active due to the fact that ya girl is dead—there is an ambient Truth that surrounds her. people are compelled to be truthful, people are more themselves, objects are elevated to being The Thing Itself, ava speaks & things follow according to what is said. consider: JC telling her about his mother; mary telling her about her mother; lilith being more prideful/driven than ever; beatrice coming out; the crown becoming The Crown; divinium lighting up; i want to go to the museum—we go to the museum; a bit on the nose—oh that’s Not what i meant; sister frances confession;

im sure there are more instances but that’s just off the top of my head & yes Of Course it’s narrative & character growth etc etc but just Imagine & enjoy

ava: FIGHT ME beatrice, mary, mother superion, and basically every sister warrior stood behind her, holding a knife, mouthing: DO. NOT.

#skfj no ava does this on purpose#she says random numbers but she will SPECIFICALLY remember the one with broiled fish to tell people#and because she's the warrior nun everyone is like yes of course such wisdom#and when ava leaves they panic and are like what was the message what wisdom did the warrior nun leave me#snort#warrior nun#beatrice let's her because beatrice is also a prankster and she adds credibility when she stands there seriously and nods  @rcarx​ lolololol

whenever things get rough, ava does her best to give everyone hope by quoting the bible, because she’s the warrior nun and that’s what she’s supposed to do in a church full of catholics, right?. the only problem is that she doesn’t know shit about the bible, so she’ll just be walking around saying things like “everything will be okay, just remember: Luke 24:42” and everyone else is like “tf does ‘they gave him a piece of broiled fish’ mean ava”

Hmm so it turns out many people consider Ava a bad protagonist and find her annoying??? And that the show is slow??? And that it endorses disability erasure???

I hardly ever fall in love with main leads especially 'the chosen one' types and yet Ava was so easy to get behind and even relatable and I love her so much. And god I wish the show was even slower and it had more episodes like I wanted to see the dynamics between the sisters in depth, Ava and Bea's relationship progressing, little lost moments, their quiet times, their training sessions, them joking around and being normal idk. It still went by too fast?

And I might be wrong here but to me it wasn't disability erasure. Ava's disability is very much a part of her throughout. It's why she spends half the season running away because she hasn't lived yet. It's why she can't give up the halo either. It's why she can't drain the halo too much or can't fight as good as other warrior nuns (minus not being trained yet of course). It's her deepest fear. And it is so fundamental to her and Bea's relationship too like Bea touching her after that fight with Crimson, Bea reassuring her, Bea understanding her fears and hesitance....her disability is a very much constant presence throughout the narrative even though under the surface and ahhhhh I want to scream so bad rn.

I'm straight up not having a good day today and then finding out about these shitty opinions about this beloved sunshine of a character—

Are people allowed to have opinions I don't agree with? Yes.

Do I want to hit them on the head with a stick despite? Also Yes.

Now I'm wondering am I biased because I've read way too many fics and post analysis' and therefore see more depth than there was? Does it even matter?

if you have been thinking about ava being a warrior, a knight (hello helmet moment from episode 6), if you have been thinking about angels & truth & fire & the kind of bloody driven prophet that joan of arc is, well. so have i. anyway, all this to say that i moved the joan of arc fic to ao3 & you can find it here:

heat, hurt, heresy

ava silva is such a dumbass in every single smau ive read and thats why i wanna marry her

[principalinstigator]

ms ava silva being a fruity little firecracker, with very little self-control (figuratively and literally) just wanting to live her life is just so rare to see in a hero it makes me smile every time i think about it. this conflict with adriel and the war between heaven and earth? it's not her thing, it's just an inconvenience she needs to get past to live her best life with her gf preferably in a small town in switzerland

Beatrice: I know you’re making jokes about how attractive you are to hide your sadness.

Ava, crying: It’s not a joke, I’m a legit snack!
